Вот еще про посадку на авианосец упоминание об открытом фанаре отсутствует. Обычо рекомендуют открыть замок чтобы не заклинало при возможном ударе .

Yours is the first division to enter the pattern. Your leader puts the flight into a right echelon formation. You approach the carrier around 500-ft and 185 knots IAS (Indicated Air Speed). You fly past a little to the starboard side. Your leader gives a little wing wag and breaks left 90 degrees across the bow of the carrier - and disappears. You count off seven to ten seconds by the numbers, give a wing wag, and break left and down in a 90-degree bank. You throttle back, drop the landing gear and full flaps, losing altitude to approximately 100-ft above the water, with your IAS at approximately 65 knots - this is a little ticklish on a dark night because you have a pressure altimeter that has a 100-ft lag factor. The deck is 80-ft from the water on an Essex-class carrier, so your altimeter is useless! You trim for slow flight as you turn onto your downwind leg (heading directly opposite of the carrier's heading).
Now, go over the landing checkoff list: 1) Wheels down and locked; 2) Flaps full down at 50 degrees; 3) Mixture control auto-rich; 4) Prop full low pitch; 5) Hook down; 6) Cowl flaps open; 7) Canopy locked open; 8) Shoulder straps locked tight. While you are doing all of this you are keeping one eye on the white light. Now, it's time to start your final turn into the carrier. This is a constant left turn in a 20- to 30-degree bank as the carrier moves away from you. Slow to 70 knots IAS, holding nearly full right rudder to compensate for torque (the right leg gets tired and sometimes cramps up). At this point the stick is like a wet noodle. Very sloppy, not such feeling of control at all. You are about ten knots above stalling as always - a stall now could be fatal. You are trying to hold a smooth constant turn, altitude, and IAS while looking for the LSO.
The LSO, in turn, is looking at you, trying to pick up your wing lights, and/or exhaust fire - somewhat like a needle in a hay stack! The LSO also goes mostly by altitude and attitude of the approaching plane. Also, he depends a little on sound. He is boss. You must follow him to the letter. If he waves you off, you must go around whether you think you have enough gas or not! The LSO is always a pilot.
Now, with goggles pulled down (heart in mouth), head cocked left, partially out of the cockpit into the windstream, you finally pick up the LSO. Damn! He looks like a speck in the distance holding a match in the air to guide you. The engine noise is loud! The wind tears at your face as he grows a little larger and the match is now more like a flashlight. The carrier is ghost-like. You know it's there, but you can't see it.
You try to follow the LSO's signals and get lined up. Oops! High and fast! Back a little on the throttle.. feel it sink a little. The sweat pours down your face. There, you see two rows of blue lights that look more like blue pinpoints at this distance. Now what does he want? You're low and too slow! Very dangerous. Come on...you're flying by the seat of your pants! Pay attention!
Add some power (but not too quickly or torque will roll you over!). Ease back on the stick ever so slightly, more right rudder! Your right leg is cramping. Ignore it, ignore it! You approach the stem and for the first time get a halfway clear look at the paddles. Got to get aboard this pass. May not have enough fuel for another go 'round!
Hold it, hold it! Hot damn! He gave you a "cut." You roll out of your turn at the same time chopping the throttle all the way back. Pull the stick back into your gut and bang the deck hard! Where's that damn wire? Suddenly, you are slammed forward hard against the straps, coming to an abrupt stop! Let the plane roll back a few feet so they can unhook the wire. Raise the hook quickly, add power, and taxi forward following the signals of the deckhand's wand light. Pass both barriers and forward to the tip of the bow.
Cut the engine, and stare into the rearview mirror! Did the plane behind you catch a wire? Did his hook break? If so, will he hit the first or second barrier? Or.. did he bounce over both barrier's to land on your back? You hunch down behind the armor plate and wait (this happens from time to time and is usually fatal for the pilot in the parked plane. Sometimes both pilots are killed!) Whew! All's okay this time. Take a deep breath, unstrap, climb down, and head for the ready room. You have just survived another controlled crash - affectionately known as a night carrier landing! Don't think about it again...until next time.
